Life

After graduating from high school, Albert Prosi began studying natural sciences at the University of Tübingen and was drafted into military service in the First World War in his first semester in 1916 . After the end of the war in 1918, he studied again from 1919 in Tübingen and in the meantime also in Stuttgart natural sciences. In 1922 he was in Tübingen with his dissertation contributions to the knowledge of Lettenkohle and the lowest Gipskeuper in Swabia doctorate . During his work, Albert Prosi was able to evaluate the now lost approval work of the later teacher Kurt Klingler (1890-1947) on the Lettenkohle in northwestern Württemberg and on this basis present a uniform breakdown of the Lettenkohle in southern and northern Württemberg with a practicable demarcation to the Gipskeuper still exists today.

Albert Prosi then decided on a career in school service and became a teacher. After he had already held various positions, he was given a position as a teacher at the secondary school in Lorch in 1932 . After the end of the Second World War in 1945, he initially carried out a wide variety of activities until, from 1948, he was allowed to teach mathematics and biology again at the Kepler High School in Ulm.
